Plus Size Kids' Clothes: Let's Discuss

We've been deliberating on the use of the term "plus size" since approximately forever with no conclusion in sight, but the debate was recently reignited when The Today Show explored the new offerings for children that are made with the not-always-smiled-upon label.

Check out this clip of a segment that aired earlier this week on the morning show, taking on the topic of extended sizes for little girls becoming more popular at your local mall:

For us, this seems like a pretty straightforward issue: Everyone is entitled to awesome fashion that fits them well and makes them feel great, no matter what type of body they have--and it's especially nice to see that the clothes are being merchandised right alongside the other kids' offerings, and not in a special section. But does putting the term "plus" on the label make you uncomfortable, like it did for that mom in the video? Do you think having a different designation hinders kids' self-esteem? Should we take the advice of the enterprising 11-year-old in the Today studio and solve the issue by just putting numbers on everything? Where do you stand on the issue of "plus size" clothes for kids? Did you ever have trouble shopping for stuff that fit when you were younger? Do you wish there had been more of this stuff around, regardless of its name? Discuss.
